Might look into @ppsocials.bsky.social I hear they have amazing things in the works.

nickthornborrow.bsky.social•122 days ago

Sorry Ryan. That’s butts. 💙

ryancorm.bsky.social•122 days ago

There’s a lot of butts in our industry, lately. I hope you’re well, Nick.

leask.bsky.social•121 days ago

I’m sorry, Ryan! I’m sending you my best and I hope that something good and exciting comes by soon.

meretrixv.bsky.social•122 days ago

Man, fuck them.

Never giving them another cent. Not after this.

laurellkhamilton.bsky.social•121 days ago

Good luck!

mealexsh.bsky.social•122 days ago

Obviously your livelihood and new job are the most important things and hope you will be hired asap! (Also for our, gamers, sake too). But also treat your soul and mind: search sometimes and read what people here say about BioWare games, how your work changed (and even saved) many lives.

kaldannan.bsky.social•122 days ago

OH MY GOD NOT YOU TOO JFC

I have no words that will adequately express my rage and grief for all of you. May the next place you land at treat you with the respect and care you very much deserve.

fen71.bsky.social•122 days ago

Shame what's happened to such a storied game studio.

king-huntress.bsky.social•121 days ago

Follow Mike. That guy always has a vision that's about the gamers and about the ARTISTS. Share your art there man. Please.
I wanna see your ART, unrestricted by corporate greed.

brownejax2024.bsky.social•122 days ago

You'll find something better!

jackiefromtexas.bsky.social•121 days ago

Wishing you all the best of luck as you begin your next chapter.

northmiststudios.bsky.social•121 days ago

That really sucks, Ryan. I'm so sorry this happened to you. You were a delight to work with and actively made things better. You'll find a fit in no-time, I'm sure. 💙

siannen.bsky.social•122 days ago

What the heck is Bioware doing? The ME series are some of the best written video games ever. So they just drop you all because they can't get their crap together?

ghosthacked.bsky.social•121 days ago

Man, this doesn't look good for ME5.

engold08.bsky.social•122 days ago

Sucks so much. Thank you for helping create some legendary games and I hope you land somewhere quickly

blacktonystark.bsky.social•121 days ago

Man that sucks. I really enjoyed your work with ME. Legend in my book.

stumpynat.bsky.social•122 days ago

Best of luck! Appreciate the work you did on my favorite games!

gotgghdfggf.bsky.social•120 days ago

Thank you for all of your hard work. You and everyone at BioWare are far too good people for what gaming has become and deserve nothing but the best.

joedabucket.bsky.social•122 days ago

Shit, I’m so sorry. It was great to work with you and I hope you get snapped up soon!

cuirass.net•121 days ago

Sad to hear about this, industry has been really rough for a while now but I’ve no doubt you’ll find a soft landing - good luck!

pocketprogrammer.bsky.social•121 days ago

Is there a means by which all of you who were let go could band together and form your own studio?

heartimecia.bsky.social•122 days ago

So sorry, Ryan. Thank you immensely for your hard work. I hope brighter times are in your future and that you land on your feet soon.

stacey4595.bsky.social•121 days ago

Can u make a satirical video game where we can abuse the antichrist and his orange minions ? We can play together and have an outlet for our aggression towards facism and Nazis shit surrounding us!

marzipanandtreacle.bsky.social•122 days ago

I know that Fallout DESPERATELY needs good writers. I hope you’re able to find something quickly, and I’m sorry this is how you’ve been rewarded for your work.

jerrysratking.bsky.social•121 days ago

thewazisu.bsky.social•121 days ago

I'd blocked a few of these boneheads yesterday, but I appreciate you taking the time to actually build a list to be rid of them in one fell swoop.

ladyrav3ngaming.bsky.social•122 days ago

I’m so sorry! I hope you are able to continue creating amazing stories wherever you go!

ladystrangely.bsky.social•121 days ago

Misread the last bit as "marketing commas" and I was like YES, people need to be using more commas! Also, please feel free to diversify into semicolons, they need more love.
